Divyanka Tripathi’s grandfather passes away

Television actress Divyanka Tripathi, who recently tied the
knot with her actor boyfriend Vivek Dahiya, lost her grandfather Purnanand
Tripathi on Wednesday. The couple, who has just started enjoying her marital
bliss, will soon reach Divyanka’s home town Bhopal to attend her bauji’s last
rites.

The actress was very close to her grandfather and said that he
always wanted me to settle down. Speaking to Dailybhaskar.com, an inconsolable
Divyanka said, “My bauji asked me to get married soon, and so I started this
new chapter in my life. He cannot go like this. I can’t believe he is gone.”

Purnanand Tripathi was 84 when he breathed his last at his
Bhopal residence yesterday evening. He was not keeping well for quite some time
now. He was a retired DSP in Madhya Pradesh police and was very dedicated
towards his job.

Divyanka’s fan page on Instagram also shared a picture of the
actress with her bauji and wrote, “This is so sad to hear that divyanka bauji
is no more … I always looked at two an saw me an my grandfather they share the
similar bond I can not even imagine what divyanka must be going through …. :,(
